virus ads beware. I won a tournament and was at level 40. the game is mahjong but the problem, at level 35 or so, right in the middle of the game the screen goes blank and a YOU HAVE A VIRUS ad pops up. very deceiving to a lot of people. I hate ads, which are between EVERY level, but these should be illegal. also, some of the "normal" ads dont close right, dont ever give you an X, freeze, constantly continue.
Reviews for Vita Mahjong
← Back to Vita MahjongI can put up with watching ads in between every round (the game is free, after all), but then it forces me to go to the Play Store to download the advertised app, game, etc. It's unavoidable, even if I select "Not interested", and I can't press back to go back to the game. I have to completely close the game first. Uninstalling.
UPDATE: problem still not fixed with the ads for free boosters. Gonna uninstall until it gets fixed. I like this game. I got the no ads version which is pretty good since no more ads keep popping up. But when I can't pass a level it will offer to watch a short ad to get a free shuffle. When I tap to watch that short ad, the screen goes blank. I will then have to close out my game and restart it all over again. Please fix this issue😒
This was a fun game for a while. the ads weren't bad, then the higher you got, the more the ads, but at least you got more free shuffles and more free guesses. Then, every time you started to play, it said you had a virus. I uninstalled and reinstalled it, but it wasn't the same. Naturally, you lose your points and levels. But I tried again and got to level 848, and now it closes the game every time I start to play. So I guess I'll have to find a different game to play
gave it two stars because I enjoyed the tiles and sounds without the "good" voice. all the removed stars are because of the ads before EVERY game, and most of them opened Google play each time, causing me to leave the game window. the game also started to glitch out on me, and I decided to uninstall and reinstall. I had been logged in while using the game, so didn't think anything of it. when I reinstalled it was down a few levels, didn't have my first place frame anymore and lost progress.
Dev: when game can't launch, in-app support isn't available. Reinstalled but lost my history as expected. Not replaying hundreds of games to reach 17 first place levels, dailies, & journeys. Game uninstalled. Big glitch Today! Have been enjoying Vita Mahjong very much. Ads aren't intrusive -- but they are LONG multi-screens between rounds. Today the game fails to launch. Can't play if it doesn't launch. And yes, I have restarted. I'll go back to 5 stars if I get the game up and running, 😉
have to uninstall. ads after EVERY board. takes minutes because each ad has THREE screens you have to wait for video before moving to the next one. And it seems the game you download is not like the nauseatingly long ad you had to sit through ( i did not download any but in boredom read some reviews lol), even the "Super Hard" levels are Stupid Easy. how this game got any more than 1 star rating is beyond me. DONT RESPOND PAY TO PLAY. YOUR GAME ISNT GOOD EVEN WITHOUT ADS.
I have been playing it for a while & am almost at level 1000. The issue is now the option to click a link to get another shuffle doesn't work at all & when I win 10 levels it doesn't give me the option any more to watch a video for more shuffles. I sent an email to support & got no reply, so either the developers don't care the game isn't functioning properly or don't know how to fix it. either way it's annoying. I would love to give this game 5 stars but simply can't as long as it has bugs.
love the game itself. ..strategy needed but thats the fun part...liked the timed and all one color. There are way way way to many ads. They are in-between, in front and in back. There is one thing I don't get...what does the challenge flag mean. And it keeps wanting me to update...I did and it didnt carry over and it had something attached...clean it up.
Far too many ads! It's annoying and makes the game very unenjoyable. Skip it and find another Majong that doesn't have a 30 second ad or two after every single round. Update: I was hoping it would get better, but it hasn't and the developer doesn't seem to want to make it better. As there are hundreds of more Mahjong games out there with a fraction of the ads, I am deleting it and going elsewhere. Today, I played for 20 minutes during a break. Actual game time- 9 minutes, the rest was ads. Bye.
too many ads all of a sudden. I got level 365 and now there are so many ads after each game . it's annoying and am thinking of just finding another game.bummed because I got so far and really do like this game but don't want to pay the fee . before the commercials weren't so many and I was able to skip them no it's difficult I have to keep restarting the game!!! Fix it please
addictive yes. I downloaded and played 20 rounds the first time I opened it. no ads at all. next time I open it, an ad after each round. I don't know if it's my phone or what, but I don't see any countdown on how long the ad lasts and there is no option to X out of it at any point. I sometimes have to close the app and reopen to resume play. $5.99 to remove ads? Nah, rather uninstall. I'd pay $1.99 at most. on the good side, they didn't try to make a subscription. guess I'll be uninstalling.
This game was great at the beginning, but in the past few days, there have been at least 10 incidents returning the message "Ads failing to load, please wait." I've tried waiting but ads are not loading. I am forced to collect only 1 shuffle or I cannot move to the next game level. I am missing at least 40 shuffles/rewards. This in turn means I do not have shuffles to use when I need them so I am forced to restart levels. please check into this. I would like to get the rewards I earned.
Game has a "feature" where it acts like you did some great move and mass matches the rest of the board as a "bonus" instead of just letting you play through. It's no bonus. It's just a chance to have to watch two more ads. I play to unwind my mind, which isn't possible when the game won't just let me play and instead just plays ads. I'll delete if it continues to be a feature.
It said no annoying ads when I downloaded, then I hit level 30, bam... ads before every level. I want to play, not spend 30 seconds watching an ad, then close it, only to have to watch a teaser screen for the advertised game, close it and spend another 10 seconds waiting for the final close. Ridiculous. I thoroughly enjoyed it until then. Disappointing.
I really like this game and find it challenging, but there are too many ads for other games that won't close. I understand ads are necessary and I don't mind having to watch an ad or two to keep the app free, but every single ad for another game has no option to close once it's done. I have to close the entire app and reopen. Sometimes that doesn't work and it will reopen back to the ad. I'll be looking for an alternative app.
It was a great game until the ads became ridiculously frequent and long, 30 seconds to a minute, back to back, at the start of every game, during and after. If you're a fast puzzle solver, you'll spend twice as long watching ads than playing the game. The ad free version options are expensive. Personally, I'm dumping this game, it's gone from relaxing fun to a frustrating waste of time.
I thoroughly enjoy playing this game, BUT ... the claim that there are no annoying ads is what enticed me to download it and that is false advertising. I know ad revenue allows them to offer the game free and I appreciate that. I don't mind "paying" for a needed game tool (in this case a shuffle) by watching a short ad. I wouldn't mind watching an ad every 5th game. But being forced to watch ads between each game wastes far too much time for a fast player. It has become more ad than game!
A very easy game to pick up and put down, easy to understand. If you are worried about being bombarded with Ads, you don't have to worry. they only play in between a completion of a level, or if you need to restart a failed level. I avoid it all together by closing the app and opening it again. I am bit upset that after I watched an optional add to get more shuffles I never got the extra. Not a deal breaker, just something to be on the look out for.
Contrary to the description, THIS GAME DOES HAVE ADS and lots of them. I could see watching ads for in-game purchases, but this "ad free" game makes me watch an ad between each puzzle, or I can't continue playing. That's not my idea of an ad free game. It's a good game. I enjoy it. I took away 2 stars just because this game isn't ad free as was claimed. Edit: Thanks for making it clear in your reply that we must watch ads to play your ad free game. Dropping to 1 star.
